The Applicant Tracking System (ATS) allows the administrator to create custom user roles to define permissions for what a user can access. For example, you could use the role “contact only” for someone in your office who you would like to have the ability to forward the candidate's information to get feedback, but they are only able to see that information with the email.
After creating a user role, you can assign the user role to a user with the 'User Maintenance' menu.
We offer a video training for this topic on Arcoro Learning.
Navigating to User Roles
- Click Administration from the top menu bar.
- Click User Roles from the list on the left-hand side.
User Roles Menu
- Add User Role button - Add a new user role to the ATS.

There will be columns for:

Default User Roles
There are four default roles that cannot be edited, copied, or deactivated:
- Contact User Only - The user can be sent applicants/candidates via email to review and provide feedback on, but cannot access the ATS software to create jobs, etc. They will not receive a Username and Password to log into the ATS.
- Job Req Override - If you have a job requisition process in place, any users with this role can override that process if need be.
- Reports Access - This user can only log in to the ATS and access the reports. For example, this role is for an intern to have access to run weekly reports or for a director/department head who wants information on hired candidates.
- System Administrator - This user will have access to all parts of the ATS.
